The formation of anterior cruciate ligament cysts is one of the rare non-traumatic forms of knee joint lesions with unexplored etiopathogenesis. The formation of cysts of the anterior cruciate ligament is characteristic of younger people. The disease can be asymptomatic, being detected by chance during magnetic resonance imaging of the knee joint, in the case of a symptomatic course of the disease, the main complaints are chronic nonspecific pain, limitation of terminal flexion and extension of the joint, rarely mechanical symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging is the method of choice for diagnosing these pathological conditions of the knee joint. The arthroscopic aid allows you to successfully combat this condition, while in the absence of a threat to the stability of the joint, debridement of the joint is performed, and if the stability of the joint is threatened, the issue of reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament is considered.
